CompanyCloud

CompanyCloud – one platform, comprehensive services

With our CompanyCloud, we are following a hybrid cloud architecture approach and offering you a complete cloud portfolio on one platform. Here, we combine services from the areas: Housing and hosting, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service..PaaS, Desktop as a Service (DaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS)

Our cloud offering – flexible and modular

Benefit from innovative solutions that are always cutting-edge and a modular service model – you choose yourself which modules and services you will use. This means that you can always adjust your solution to meet the current requirements.

Hosting & Housing

Many companies have their own server room, which results in high acquisition and operating costs and involves an increased risk of serious data loss – not to mention the cost involved in creating and securing backups. One simple alternative is our colocation offering: if you cannot or do not want to virtualise your hardware, we can rent you rack space for your servers on carrier-neutral colocation sites.

Server housing in state-of-the-art data centres

In our ISO27001-certified data centres in Frankfurt, Hamburg and Salzburg, we can provide housing capacity tailor-made for you – from individual server floor space, to entire racks (cages), through to multiple rack spaces in the form of a private room (suite). Our data centres stand out due to our state-of-the-art infrastructure, a multilevel security concept, an innovative fire early warning system, efficient supply of power and redundant air conditioning systems. To supplement our colocation services, we also offer you a range of additional services in the area of managed housing – we can offer you suitable floor space for your own servers and manage your equipment in our data centres. Furthermore, you have the option to book additional services from us, such as hands-on service or backup. Thus, you can ensure that your IT infrastructure is operating at top performance at all times.

Needs-based server hosting

We also offer you the option of hosting your own servers or customisable servers with us – we can provide complete servers and storage systems for dedicated use based on your needs (managed hosting). Our data centres are connected with more than 70 carriers and therefore provide outstanding connectivity. We can also access other data centres all over Europe, we focus on sustainable energy management, provide integrated support and help you with technical issues. In addition to a powerful server architecture that is at the same time fail-safe, you also benefit from flexible scalability. Our host offering is supplemented with additional managed services, such as professional update and patch management, which ensure the smooth operation of your servers. You can focus on your core business and we’ll take care of your IT infrastructure.

Web hosting – flexible and affordable

As experienced Internet experts, naturally we also provide Web domains. With our Web hosting packages for company portals, e-commerce solutions and corporate websites, we have a suitable solution for every need – from the provision of a single domain through to extensive multi-domain solutions. Of course, we can also host your online shop. Just contact us. We’ll be happy to draw up a quotation tailored for you based on your individual requirements.» Cloud Calculator

IaaS

IaaS – for maximum scalability and flexibility

It is expensive to purchase and operate new servers, so many companies shy away from this investment. Other companies find that they have created an IT infrastructure that is too large for normal operation and therefore gives rise to unnecessary costs. In both of these situations, it is recommended to use Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) instead, so that IT infrastructures can be dynamically scaled. With our IaaS offering, we make IT capacity such as servers, storage, network and the rest of the data centre infrastructure available to you virtually. Rather than using a physical single server, you benefit from a virtualised environment in our CompanyCloud, which you can scale according to your needs using our self-service portal. This increases your flexibility and achieves maximum control over your IT costs.

Scale according to your needs

As an IaaS provider, we make a private cloud available to you in the context of a dedicated VLAN. You use only as many infrastructure resources as you actually need – in the areas of data centre, connectivity, storage, CPU, RAM and backup, for instance. This enables you to map all kinds of different workflows flexibly and based on your needs, such as the provision of virtual desktops and connection to databases and applications servers (e.g. for ERP, CRM and BI systems). Using our self-service portal, you can carry out the configuration and operational management of the virtual machines complete with corresponding services. Alternatively, you can task us with the complete management of your IaaS solution. In this case, we take care of operating the solution, including patch and update management in defined maintenance windows.

Highly available and secure

Our IaaS hosting relies on enterprise technologies of industry standard. For virtualisation, we use the proven solutions VMware, Hyper-V and Citrix. Needless to say, the security of your business-critical data is our top priority. We operate our geo-redundant, ISO27001-certified data centres at colocation areas in Deutsche Telekom Group data centres in Frankfurt and Hamburg. Therefore, we can guarantee that the data you store in the cloud remains safely in Germany and highly available thanks to connections with more than 100 carriers.

Personalised consulting

We are a Microsoft Gold Partner. Therefore, you can have access to the Microsoft Azure Cloud in Germany upon request. As an experienced IaaS provider, we can advise you professionally on all matters related to the cloud and on possible IaaS usage scenarios in your company. Just contact us. We’re always here for you!

PaaS

PaaS – customised platforms for application development

To operate local IT environments for developing your own applications requires a great deal of effort and generates high costs. On the contrary, our Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering allows you to focus completely on application development. We can provide the platform you need, complete with programming environments, in our CompanyCloud – and you can choose a private or a public cloud. Without having to worry about any system administration or maintenance, your developers can work on the same projects even when they are in different locations. Thus, you benefit from more efficient software development and a shorter time to market, while bringing costs down at the same time because you do not have to build your own data centre infrastructure.

Customised PaaS installation for your application development

The technical basis of PaaS is our Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering, with the addition of databases (Database as a Service) such as Microsoft SQL or MySQL and various development tools. Based on this ready-made data centre solution concept, we provide you with a platform on which you can develop, test, run, use and extend your own applications. We support standard development tools such as .NET, Java, PHP, JIRA, Confluence, JBoss and Visual Studio on Windows and Linux operating systems, and we provide these tools for you as part of your customised PaaS installation. Other tools such as Microsoft Sharepoint or Active Directory basic services, content management systems (CMSs), database services or tools for assigning rights, for example, are seamlessly connected via interfaces. Therefore, you benefit from a customised platform on which you can develop applications flexibly, securely and quickly.

Perfect combination

Our PaaS is perfect for combining with Software as a Service and Desktop as a Service. For example, you can operate a development platform in the cloud on which you provide your own applications, such as an ERP solution like Mesonic WinLine, in the form of SaaS. The applications are then available virtually via DaaS to the users on various stationary and mobile devices such as PCs, desktops, notebooks and tablets.

Security first

Needless to say, we ensure the security of your business-critical data at all times. We operate our ISO27001-certified data centres at colocation areas in Deutsche Telekom Group data centres in Frankfurt and Hamburg. This allows us to use cross-data centre solutions for the provisioning of your platform. It also guarantees that the data you store in the cloud remains safely in Germany and highly available at all times.

DaaS

DaaS – any place, any time, any device

Setting up and maintaining an IT environment locally is a challenge. The maintenance and management of desktop workstations alone results in a great deal of effort and high costs – not to mention the errors caused by different software versions and security risks that can go hand in hand with unpatched workstations. What’s more, an increasing number of employees also want mobile access to relevant business applications. Desktop as a Service (DaaS) solutions offer a simple but secure option for providing access to the usual IT environment at any time and from anywhere, regardless of the endpoint device type or platform. We can make your virtual workstations available via our CompanyCloud – flexibly and based on your needs. This means that you can react to market and growth requirements, ensure seamless operation in different time zones, standardise your client environment and, not least, uncouple expertise from location (if development and production are located in different branches, for example).

Virtualisation at the highest level

Without having to invest in your own data centre and the appropriate hardware, you can profit from all the advantages of a managed virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). We provide you with a complete VDI environment based on the enterprise virtualisation solutions VMware Horizon View, Microsoft Remote Desktop or Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp. Our DaaS concept also allows managed workplaces to be mapped in the CAD realm. Based on PCoIP technology from teradici or HDX 3D from Citrix, thanks to CAD virtualisation you can use applications such as HiCAD, AutoCAD, Nemetscheck or Solidworks with a high level of performance for even the most graphically-demanding workstations.

Service tailored to your needs

Thanks to our self-service portal, you have full control at all times over the level of service you require – from a simple service allocation through to our full managed service, where we take over the complete operational management of your virtual environment as a service. We can also manage your local IT environment if you wish. With our modular service concept, we offer you services tailored to your needs.

Security first

Of course, you never have to worry about the security of your business-critical data. We operate our geo-redundant, ISO27001-certified data centres at colocation areas in Deutsche Telekom Group data centres in Frankfurt and Hamburg. Therefore, the data that you store in the cloud remains on servers in Germany. Maximum security is also ensured by the fact that we make your virtual workstations available in a private cloud – complete with SSL-based or certificate-based encryption. The private cloud also has two further advantages. Thanks to single sign-on, you need to be authenticated only once to access all of the local services that you are authorised to use via your virtual desktop. Two-factor authentication can also be set up if you wish. The user then needs two independent components to log on to their workstation, such as a password and an employee ID.
